Student Placements & Research Opportunities

In addition CSD will be looking to place students who take this Minor on work placements/Internships with our partner NGOs – Action Aid, ICCCAD, Practical Action, Oxfam, Bengal Institute – and private businesses carrying out CSR projects, etc. As part of GED 462, they will also be carrying out action based research, which CSD faculty will support in turning into publication for peer reviewed journals.

The above modules will still be offered as part of GED electives for students who do not opt for the Minor. But if a student declares the Minor (and takes these 5)  they will have to complete additional GED courses to fulfill their GED elective requirements.
